Phil has no one to blame but himself particularly for blowing the 2006 US open in spectacular Phil like fashion.
Scottie essentially feels like a slam dunk but the US Open is such a beast. The better bet is if Scottie eventually wins the grand slam x2.
Brooks has a shot but needs the masters and the open. The masters seems difficult bc Scottie and Rory have been very dominant on that course.

If he putted better this week, he's in the hunt. He's playing better.
He's so in his own head it's ridiculous. I genuinely feel bad for the guy.

Clear answer is Scottie but I think Spieth will make a run at a PGA in the next 7-8 years. Probably won’t win it but there will be a year where he’s top 5 or something going into the weekend and everyone will get excited.
Rahm and Xander have better games right now than Spieth but they’re about the same age and have to win two which is obviously exponentially more difficult. And it’s not like Spieth has gone full Cam Smith, he’s still a top 25ish player in the world. Plenty good enough to get hot for a weekend.

nobody would take the scheffler bet that’s off the table. Koepka is a good bet, two runner up finishes at the masters and a top 5 at the British. He’s 35 years old and should be entering his prime as far as being able to focus on those two tournaments (the open especially). His play in the masters has been good enough to win he just needs the chips to fall his way.
So koepka is my answer
So koepka is my answer

This is an absurd statement, he is 32 years old lol. Phil Mickelson won his first major at 33….
I agree Speith has been very off from being at the top, but he could certainly turn it back on at some point.

Spieth last won a major in 2017. Droughts are a thing and we saw that with McIlroy for eleven years. Is there a redemption for Spieth coming?
At a minimum he has to dump his swing coach.

I think Spieth could win another Masters because it suits his game but I can’t see him winning another major outside of that.
The game has changed a lot since he dominated and I think it’s hurt him more than others.
Obviously he’s chased distance because the courses keep getting longer. The margins for him are just so damn thin now and he’s way too volatile to put together 4 great rounds at a major venue
I would love to be proven wrong because I like Spieth a lot due to being a similar age to him and what he did a decade ago but I just don’t see it. The fields are too deep and the game just favors a different style of golf now

Mickelson will have a Hoch/Norman/Van de Velde combo loss at the 2028 US Open where he loses in a playoff to a guy who had to eagle the 72nd just to force the playoff.

Scheffler will do it this year

Phil too old and Brooks too injury prone and has squirrels in his head.

Greg Norman and Tom Watson had chances to win the British Open in the 2000s, but that was the British, and Jack contended in the 98 Masters for his last hurrah. Phil in 2028 will be 58 years old. I’m looking at google images and his face is thinning out, hopefully there’s nothing wrong with him

Interesting that he was allegedly nicknamed FIGJAM by some of his peers when Roy McAvoy is probably the better insult

Regarding the career grand slam, Scottie is obvious.
The PGA is arguably the toughest one to win even though it's the least prestigious. The field is the best of the majors. Spieth needs it. That's a tough ask for him unless he has an incredible four days one year.
Phil can't hold up four days of US Open setups. Going LIV didn't help. Like 4 time runner-up Sam Snead, it's the only one he won't get.
Koepka is a Masters threat for sure, but his game doesn't translate well to British Open courses. His best finish is a tie for 4th. That said, Phil's game wasn't meant to win over there and he caught lightning in a bottle once so anything is possible.
Rahm was rolling, went to LIV, and has struggled in majors ever since. If he ends his career without the slam, he will have a lot of money but won't be a legend.
Morikowa and Schauffele absolutely have the games to add the two they lack.

Obviously the answer is Scheffler, although the PGA courses are typically easier so who knows, maybe Spieth can get it together for a weekend. Mickleson has no chance at his age, especially given the fact he’s missing a U.S. (Maybe if he needed a Masters or PGA, he could somehow find something).
Don’t sleep on either Morikawa or Schauffele though. Both play very well at Augusta, so if either can break through there next year or the year after, it’ll just be a race between them and Scottie for the U.S.
(Also, if you look at Morikawa and Xander’s average results in majors, the British is by far their worst… but they each already have knocked that one out. The same applies for Brooks… but he doesn’t have it yet, which is why it’ll be tough for him.)

Scottie, but if Brooks can get his putting figured out, I think he could too.
